With only one week go... Spring is almost officially upon us!
Which means, somehow, even though it was only Christmas about 3 minutes ago, it's Easter next month!

With the sun finally getting his bonnet on and the promise of a four-day weekend tantalisingly close, at Carousel HQ our minds are suddenly rapidly focusing on getting organised for the Easter holidays, arranging family get-togethers and meet ups with friends, as well as, planning for long walks in the countryside / afternoons in the pub and, of course, the all-important egg hunt!

It may come as a surprise to learn that Easter egg hunts have a history almost as old as the Easter festival itself. The tradition of hiding and seeking out eggs is believed to have started in medieval Europe - utilising hen's eggs, rather than chocolate ones - as a way to celebrate new life and the end of Lenten fasting.

Fast forward to today, and chocolate egg treasure hunts have become a beloved custom that brings families together, spreads joy to people of all ages, and encourages creativity. Whether inside your house, out in the garden, or amongst nature, we believe egg hunts capture the true spirit of Easter, representing joy, togetherness, and the promise of new beginnings.

Essentially, an Egg Hunt is part of Easter celebrations that anyone and everyone can enjoy, making them a perfect contender to be bestowed with the accolade of 'CAROUSSENTIAL', the only issue being that Egg Hunts aren't exactly a must-have item, rather a must-do activity.

Therefore, by virtue of association, instead - with great eggcitement - we present to you this year's first CAROUSSENTIAL - or Careggssential, if you will - the egg hunt's most sought after accessory; the Easter Bunny's answer to a stocking, the seasonable showstopper that is the:
